Swisscows

Swisscows is a web search engine launched in 2014, a project of Hulbee AG, a company based in Egnach, Switzerland.[1][2] It uses semantic data recognition that gives faster answers to queries and claims to not store users' data.[3][4][5] Swisscows also deems itself family-friendly, with explicit results entirely omitted.[3][6][7] The engine's servers are based in underground data centers under the Swiss Alps, and geographically outside of EU and US.[8]
